Loved the catwalk make-up at Alexander McQueen’s Autumn Winter show - Cleo Patra lookey likeys with shocking neon shades - FABULOUS!

I’ve never really got on with lip plumping products, always found them too harsh on the lips but Soap and Glory have converted me.
I love their pack of 3 lip plumping colours. The colours are gorgeous and effective too - just a slight tingle for an Angelina Jolie pout! Can’t be a bad thing.

Forget au naturel. Good Old Hollywood Glam make up is back (hooray), well for evenings at least. Think Scarlett Johansson - Hollywood with a dash of what’s hot now!

Keep base soft & flawless, this can only be acheved with a brush, try Unruly’s Oval Foundation Brush £9.50. Eyes must be feline and sexy, wash a metallic eyeshadow (metallic is still big for Autumn) on the eye lid. Use a liquid eye liner on the top lid with an upwards tick from outer corners. Lashes must be big, 3 coats or more on the outer lashes using tip of wand to elongate eyes, if your lashes aren’t up to it, stick on Mister Mascara false eyelashes available at Boots.

Keep blush light and fresh using a cream blush like St Tropez by Nars. You can also use your Unruly Foundation Brush to apply colour. Lips must be bold, line them with a soft nude lip pencil then fill wth red lipstick.


 

Kate’s New Do

Kate Moss new fringe hair cut

I’d been saying it for some time (3 years to be precise) - Kate Moss needed to update her hair and at last she has……with a erm…..fringe!

Sure it looks great but come on Kate, you’re supposed to be a leader not a follower! We’ve been rocking this look since 2006 baby!


 

Feline Flick

Glad to see the feline flick keeps making a comeback or perhaps it never really disappeared?

From the bright neon and glitter flick, as worn by Lily Allen to Amy Winehouse’s big brash beatnik or Dita Von Teese’s glam screen goddess flick, this idea to accentuate the eyes takes many forms. It also takes alot of practice and the right tools to get it right.

I like to use MAC Fluidline or their glitter eyeliner or Chanel’s Intense Liquid Eyeliner (all of which are fab) with an angled eyebrow brush or a pointed lip brush.

How to do it:

1 It is easiest to do this at a table, with elbows on the table to steady hands. Look into a mirror that is either on a stand (like a shaving mirror) or one that is lying flat on the table. This angle also helps check the flicks are even.

2 Put a finger at the side of your eye and pull skin taut.

3 With one smooth stroke of the brush, draw a line along your upper lid as close to your lashes as possible - from the inner corner of your eye for a retro look or two thirds along your eye for a more natural look.

4 If you can’t do it in one, stop the line at the outer corner of your eye and then add that extra flick which goes beyond - patch any gaps.

5 You also need to check your face from the side to make sure the flicks look good from all angles.
